Three Umbrellas

Sally was a college student in London. She wanted to buy her mother a nice and useful birthday present, but not too expensive.

One day after a quick and simple lunch, she went shopping. Having looked for half an hour, she came across a shop selling umbrellas at a good price. So she decided to take one.

She thought, “Mom can carry it when she is wearing clothes of any color.” Then she bought a lovely black umbrella and took it to school with her until her class finished.

On her way home in the train that evening she felt hungry, so she went to the buffet car.  She left the black umbrella above her seat. But when she got back, she found it was gone!

Sally burst into tears. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what was wrong. When she explained the black umbrella she had bought for her mother had disappeared, and that she had to get off at the next station, the three other passengers asked her for her mother’s address so that they could send the umbrella to her in case someone returned it after Sally got off the train.

The next week, Sally got a letter from her mother saying “Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”

高二英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

An anxious mother watched as rescuers freed her baby from a muddy well. After being pulled from the well，the baby joyfully ran to its mom as the rescuers took a break.

It was a difficult and potentially dangerous rescue: the baby was an 8-month-old elephant, and at first its mother thought the humans were trying to harm it. The baby elephant fell into the five-foot-deep well near Kenya's Amboseli National Park. Local people had dug the well for water.

It took 30 minutes to remove the trapped elephant. While Vicki Fishlock of the Amboseli Trust for Elephants made a loud shout to frighten the mother away, two men struggled to get a rope around the baby elephant. Once the rope was in place, Fishlock used her jeep to pull the baby out.

Fishlock recognized Zombe, the mother of the trapped baby elephant，from a mark on her ear. She believes that in the end Zombe realized the humans were trying to help.

“Rescues where the elephant’s family members are around are always stressful, and I'm always happy when everyone is safe,” Fishlock said.“The reunions (团聚) always bring tears to my eyes. The depth of their love for each other is one of the things that make elephants so unusual.”

The very next day, another baby elephant fell into the same well. The 3-month-old's family had been driven away from the area by local people. Once it had been rescued, the Amboseli Trust had to send it to an elephant orphanage (孤儿院) in Nairobi, Kenya's capital city.

The rescues showed the plight of elephants across Africa. Elephants are fighting to survive, as conflicts between the animals and humans are increasing. Thousands of elephants are also being killed for their tusks. The tusks are sold in Asia, where ivory trinkets are in high demand.

The Amboseli Trust has been studying elephants and trying to help them since 1972. Fishlock said, “We hope this rescue persuades people that elephants are special and deserve to be protected and treasured.”

1.We can learn from the text that _____.

A．Fishlock had seen the baby elephant before

B．The mother elephant was a great help to rescuers

C．the well was dug by local people to trap elephants

D．the mother elephant was unfriendly at first to the rescuers

2.What causes Fishlock to think that elephants are special?

A．Their trust in humans.                    B．The deep love between them.

C．Their great ability to survive.               D．The good communication between them.

3.What did the two baby elephants have in common?

A．They were both 8 months old.              B．They were both rescued by local people.

C．They were both trapped in the same well.     D．They were both reunited with their mothers.

4.The underlined word "plight" in Paragraph 7 probably means“______”.

A．a strong personality                      B．A dangerous situation

C．an annoying habit                       D．a close relationship

5.What would be the best title for the text?

A．An elephant rescue                     B．The elephant, an unusual animal

C．An elephant rescue organization            D．Conflicts between humans and elephants

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

I am a mother of three children and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was social study. The last class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

Soon after we were given the project, my husband, my youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s one cold March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back way. I turned around and found there standing behind me were two poor homeless men with a horrible “dirty body” smell. The short gentleman, close to me, was “smiling”. His beautiful sky-blue eyes were full of light as he searched for acceptance. The second man played with his hands uneasily as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation(救赎). The short man just asked for a coffee because that was all they could afford.

I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray(餐盘).I then walked around the corner to the men’s table. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand. He looked up at me with tears in his eyes and said “Thank you”.

I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down, my husband smiled at me and said, “That’s why God gave you to me, Honey. To give me hope.”

On the last evening of class, I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and we all knew that we need to heal people and to be healed.

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE. “LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS--NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.”

1.Why did the people around the author back away?

A.Because the second man stood playing with his hands.

B.Because the two homeless men were also waiting in line, with a bad smell.

C.Because the short gentleman was smiling to everyone around.

D.Because both men were poorly dressed and mentally ill.

2.After the author handed the meals to the homeless men, she _________.

A.regretted and cried B.turned in her project

C.went back to her husband and son D.talked with them for a while

3.What kind of woman do you think the author is?

A.Lovely. B.Mature.

C.Over-curious. D.Caring.

4.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A.Poor as the homeless men were, they had their dignity.

B.The author felt we should know how to heal people.

C.The author’s husband was very proud of her.

D.What the author did to the men touched many people.
